'The Navy's Trust Was Misplaced'
« on: December 21, 2010, 02:23:17 PM »
Yeah, or someone was afraid the duh-versity cops would call him an islamophobe.

http://jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com/2010/12/navys-trust-was-misplaced.html

Turns out a fellow who converted to Islam and changed his last name to Abu-Jihaad, then enlisted in the US Navy, spied for Muslim terrorists and worked at ways to blow up Americans while in the Navy and afterwards.  Yeah, big shock, that. 

Here's a clue for recruiters:
If someone converts to Islam and chooses a surname that translates into "Father of Islamic Conversion by the Sword," tell them the .mil has all the recruits it needs, thanks.

I remember that case. That was just asking for a USS Cole repeat. I think the captain should have been within his rights to walk him out to the bridge wing, shoot him in the head and send him to the fishies. Am I too extreme?

Many bridge wings are enclosed or don't extend far enough to easily chuck something as heavy as a body over the rail and have them clear the weather decks below. Then you have the mess that some poor shmuck will have to clean up. For expediency, cleanliness and conservation of valuable (relative to the traitor's life) pistol ammunition just take them up to the bow, and push them over in front of the ship while doing a stately 20 knots. The fishies will thank you.

So wait.

His plan consisted of: "I will change my name to HASSAN ABU-JIHAD and then ENLIST IN THE NAVY! THEY WILL NEVER SUSPECT IT!"

...and then it WORKED?!

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

You know, with him enlisting in 1997, when OMG JIHAD in the meaning of violent war was not on everyone's mind, I can see how he slipped through the cracks.

IT's still STUPID.

I thought it was "rope" until you actually installed it, then it became "line"  ???

Or is that just a bunch of sheet ?  ;)

Didn't they used to show new sailors "the ropes" ?  =|


Anyway, what kind of line would this be - a drogue line...

Or a taffrail log  :lol:

It's rope until it's cut from the original spool that the manufacturer put it on. This applies to natural and synthetic fiber lines only (manila, kevlar, nylon, etc.). Metalic strand stuff remains "rope" or "wire rope," Steel and bronze for instance.


As for naming this particular operation.... Organic nixie drogue?  :cool:

No, see you misread.  I didn't say "Arab" or "Middle-eastern" or "Dark Complected"  I said "Muslim", the TSA keeps trying to screen for/stop THINGS.  What they should be doing is screening/stopping PEOPLE.
